Madonna - The Celebration Tour

[Artoo]

I’d be very surprised if she skips any of the below:

Holiday
Like a Virgin
Into The Groove
Papa Don’t Preach
Like a Prayer
Vogue
Frozen
Music
Hung Up
Bitch I’m Madonna

There are some obvious omissions (Material Girl, La Isla Bonita, Express Yourself, Ray of Light) but I’ve tried to stick to Madonna’s tried and tested ‘go to’ hits that she usually includes on tour.

In terms of what I’d like and think she could include:

Everybody
Holiday
Like a Virgin
Material Girl
Into The Groove
Papa Don’t Preach
La Isla Bonita
Like a Prayer
Express Yourself
Vogue
Justify My Love
Erotica
Deeper and Deeper
Secret
Take a Bow
You’ll See
Frozen
Ray of Light
Music
Die Another Day
Hung Up
4 Minutes
Girl Gone Wild
Bitch I’m Madonna
Medellín

Even then, some of them will need to be interludes, or radio edits

[Forreal]

Which songs do you think she WON’T skip on this tour?

My guess:

1. “Burning Up”
2. “Holiday”
3. “Like A Virgin”
4. “Like A Prayer”
6. “Vogue”
7. “Human Nature”
8. “Ray of Light”
9. “Music”
10. “Hung Up”

U forgot the most obvious choice, LIB !!

On the other hand I hope that HN and BU would take a break this time….

Remember when Madonnatribe had actual tour exclusives and didnt need to wait till fans posted it on forums.

Their Sticky and Sweet Tour spoilers were exciting.

Pretty sure MadonnaTribe used to have an insider at Warner’s Italian office - they used to be invited to press album listening parties they would hold prior to release. Everything changed within the fandom once Madonna left Warner.

I think there will be at least one song from every album. I also think they will re-release Celebration with some songs from the last albums plus those remixes maybe. That would make sense as the tour is named Celebration and it makes sense on Spotify to have one, huge Album/playlist during the tour. Additionally the new song by Max Martin can be on it and promote it.

Only 2 songs from every studio album and she already has 28 tracks on the set list….. it must be really tough for her trying to include the right ones to please everyone ( which is a mission impossible from the start, lol)

[spiritboy]

I'm glad i haven't bought tickets because we can't obtain visas so i wouldn't be able to attend the show.

[MadNuno]

Most of today artists are doing set lists with over 30 songs - if the show can't be longer they cut them short or into medleys (like Janet that performs 33 songs in 90 minutes).

Taylor Swift even have over 44 or 45 songs (but her show is also longer - 3 hours).

[Angeman]

And she just stands there or does little movements. Shes also 33

[Artoo]

So do we think Madonna’s going to have a fixed setlist, or is she going to mix it up a little every night? I really hope she rehearsed additional numbers to swap in and out, even if it’s just ballads where she gets to rest for five minutes. I’d quite like a return of the request section now she’s in arenas, but Madonna needs to be more open to singing what’s requested (within reason).

[Angeman]

As long as Crazy For You and Live to Tell make it in the show ill be ok. They dont have to be sung every night but at least once. Id also want Ill Remember.

I wonder if Youll See will be played at all. Im actually surprised it hasnt been a staple of her live shows, she loves spanish culture so much but ignores this song lol

I can only assume she didn’t enjoy singing it on the few shows she did it on DWT.

If I remember correctly she couldnt even remember the words

[MrDiva]

Live to tell absolutely, crazy for you
will have half the audience asleep. It really hasn’t held up
as well as some of her other ballads. I also hope she doesn’t sing that many ballads since the tour is named celebration… 2-3 is an ideal number. Miles Away would be a personal fave although I don’t think she will sing it

I don't know where you did your research or got your poll results from but CFY is one of her most streamed songs. so that's great that you think it's boring and doesn't hold up but clearly most people disagree.

also, watch the cTaipei show where she sang crazy for you because everyone is singing it so loudly that you can't even hear her

[MrDiva]

That shocks me! But thanks for educating me on its numbers… maybe I should give it a spin again

[autumnwind]

40th anniversary tour doesn't have to be a ballad fest. I wouldn't expect that for this huge tour.

No, you would expect her biggest hits, which include crazy for you and live to tell. Even if she just played her top 25 most streamed songs on Spotify or Youtube those two songs would be there.

I wouldn't mind. In fact I would love it. Those songs are 80s classics. Love them.
I always find live to tell so beautiful. The synThesizer sound of it ffrom a typical 80s music scene is still giving me goosebumps and her voice.. So so so beautiful. I live for her voice and the 80s synthesizer.

[Angeman]

My only problem is, I don't think she could beat the confessions tour version.

[Aaronsmithjune1]

With all these multiple dates I don't understand why she just didn't book baseball stadium in America & the smaller stadiums in Europe.. smaller stadium are still of great quality if that's the problem

As was shared before I don’t believe her and her team anticipated such demand when they first announced the tour. This only reinforced to all the naysayers that Madonna is and will always be the Queen of Pop.

And love her or hate her, people will pay to see her concerts because everybody knows that nobody puts a show on better than Madonna.

[SerbianInLA]

Or, average arena will gross closer to $3 million. 6 arenasa in LA - $15-18 million, where as a stadium or two would be $14-16 million

[Shadowplay]

I have just bought my tickets for the 05/12 gig at 02 London.
I had to buy three tickets in three separate sessions but I really needed two (it seems you can't leave spare seats), then I could delete one purchase.
Section 108.
I feel like I am 16 again, so happy <3
